b) Panic not, Home-Start in Suffolk are not in the 14%! We Have an amazing team of staff and Trustees who are already working on these areas, however we would love to have a few more trustees join our board to share their expertise and fill in the gaps we currently have

c) Pizza! and when you’ve eaten it perhaps you could have a re-read of this advert!

So, what do our Trustees do? For a start they have legal responsibilities as directors of Home-Start in Suffolk a charity and company limited by guarantee.

Trustees are legally responsible for account and company records and they provide support to our CEO and the management team in helping Home-Start in Suffolk meet its charitable objectives.

Obviously, we hope that you already know what Home-Start in Suffolk does (we won’t hold it against you if you don’t!).

Home-Start in Suffolk provides 1-1 support to families across Suffolk. Last year we provided help and support to over 1600 people and 89% of our families tell us that they are able manage so much better from the support that Home-Start gives them.

Our main aim to work with families who are experiencing a challenging time in their life. We hope to support them early enough to help them get to a place where they don’t need statutory intervention, however we also support families who are going through a statutory process such as having children on a child protection plan to provide the family with support to get to a place where they are better able to cope independently.

It sounds amazing right!

Well then hopefully this will totally blow your mind, the 1-1 support we offer to Suffolk families is provided by VOLUNTEERS!

That’s right, 200 #volunteers from over Suffolk (and a few from over the county borders (we don’t talk football!)) visit Home-Start families on a weekly basis giving up almost 37,000 combined hours of their own time to work with Home-Start.

We are looking for some really special people with some pretty epic skills and experience to join us, particularly in #Safeguarding, #data and #research, #marketing, #fundraising, charitable trading, #Governance, however we would still love to hear from you if you think you have other skills we could benefit from.
